Question:

What say to "Sewing Day And Night" poem?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

Clouds through the eye of a needle,

Cross-stitching fluffy-puff blue

In Day's frame...no stingy winds...

All directions charitably magnanimously

Embroidering shadows on the Sun.

Running hems on Light's skirts.

Later. Later, Night's seams will tight-fit

Her Earth bodice, and the Mother will

Snip threads of the Daylight, carefully

Re-threading with Dawn...waiting to

Tat-lace Night.
